Take a look at the accident numbers for the entire world, by country.

If you select "accidents involving casualties" there clearly is a reversal
in the downward trend around 2010 in the US. The increasing trend continues
until covid and the latest data still shows greater numbers of accidents
since 2004.

You don't get it that numbers of accidents isn't a valid metric.
It's the accident rate that matters since it's normalized properly.

Bear in mind accident-rate statistics have been compiled for a hundred
years and yet you dispute them only because you don't like what they are.

Do you know why you can't find statistics that back up your belief system?
I do.

They don't exist.

If they did exist, you'd find them.
And you haven't.
